Hello! Hola! Bonjour!
We are writing to you today from UBC’s largest language learning program, tandem UBC and wish to extend our FREE program to your community!
What is tandem? UBC tandem is a program that pairs students to exchange their first language or a language in which they are highly proficient, with a language they wish to learn. The participants meet once weekly for 1.5 hours and have the freedom to exchange the languages with their partners as they wish!
Benefits: tandem learning has proven to be beneficial for students learning another language, or wishing to keep practicing a language they learned. Not only does the tandem language program offer the opportunity to learn a new language, but also to make friends, share language stories, and learn about the culture that often comes with a language.
We need your help! The tandem UBC team would sincerely appreciate it if you would be able to educate your faculty/department/community about our goals. We are constantly looking for ways for our program to include a larger and more diverse community. The details for our Spring program are below:
When: Sessions are once weekly from January 20th – March 27th (1.5 hours)
Where: Simon K. Y. Lee Global Lounge (in front of Marine Drive Residence)
How to apply: Register at https://tandem.ubc.ca/registration/ before January 16th, 2020
